  • Apple catching up with MacBook Pro, iPhone demand, says analysts

    shareef777shareef777
    Well, just got an email that my MBP16 was pushed back from a 11/17-24 delivery to 12/14-21, so not sure what this report is talking about shipping times shrinking!

    You mean like Apple was to the cell phone party?
    Right!? It's not like Apple was the first ARM based PC. Windows RT was a thing almost 10 years ago! Being late doesn't mean you can't be the best. Apple is pretty much "late" to EVERYTHING, but they take their time, analyze, and get it done right.

  • Steve Wozniak 'can't tell the difference' between iPhone 12 and iPhone 13

    What is wrong with you people?

    This is Woz, the guy who created Apple.  The Steve who REALLY created apple, not the attention whore Steve who liked taking credit for what Woz did.

    And he's absolutely right.  The iPhone 13 is effectively no different than the 12, which is no different than the 11.  Phones are a mature technology, and pretending that a new model every year is somehow going to be an amazing upgrade is idiotic at this point.

    "But battery life is better!" - Guess what?  That's not innovation, Apple could have done that all along, all it takes is making the phone thicker so a bigger battery fits inside.  We could have iPhones that work for a week without charging if Apple really gave up on the idiotic thin fetish.
    Pretty obvious that Apple's fanboys are ultra devout. I'd say even more than the Trump cult following. Any HINT of a non-glowing review of ANYTHING related to Apple and they jump into action like some sort of band of brothers.

    As you said, phones are mature technologies and nothing substantial has changed with them in years. On a related note, I'd be curious what he thinks of the M1Pro/Max based MacBooks. Now there's a substantial performance jump that's worth noting and not seen in a mobile device going from year to year in a VERY long time (if ever).
    The “Trump cult” is nearly 75 million people.  And as an Apple fan, I’m happy to criticize the company when it screws up.  On this topic, Woz has been living on his reputation for 40 years.  
    You're lumping in everyone that voted for Trump as a member of his cult following. They're not one in the same.

    As for Woz, the company has nothing to do with the situation. People are bashing Woz simply for saying the iPhone 12 and 13 are very similar (and they are). THAT is the heart of a cultist. Even infer mediocrity of a company/person and they'll come bashing in.

  • Apple won't make a touch-screen MacBook Pro, but will improve third-party repairs

    Offer MacOS Monterey on an iPad and you’re done. Should be relatively painless considering Monterey runs natively on M1 silicone, and would give people the opportunity to determine how useful/useless a full blown desktop OS is with a touchscreen.

    From there you can determine if enough people leveraged Monterey on iPads to see if a touchscreen is really wanted for a MacBook.

    Hmmm I have a late 2013 MBP 16" running BigSur and it's not showing Monterey
    You'll need a 2015 or newer MBP. Your 2013 isn't supported.
